[CT] Daily & Weekly Percentage Price Oscillator Daily & Weekly Percentage Price Oscillator, or D&W PPO, is a dual-speed momentum oscillator that blends a slower “weekly-style” percentage oscillator with a faster “daily-style” percentage oscillator, then turns the relationship between them into a clean histogram that is easy to trade. The script builds four EMAs from the chart’s close. The first pair, L1 and L2, is used to create the W component, which behaves like a slow, higher-timeframe trend pressure line. W is calculated as the percentage distance between EMA(L1) and EMA(L2), normalized by EMA(L2). When W is rising and positive, it tells you the broader momentum is expanding upward, and when W is falling and negative, the broader momentum is expanding downward. The second pair, L3 and L4, creates the D component, which behaves like a faster, lower-timeframe momentum pulse, also expressed as a percentage but normalized by the same EMA(L2), so both components share a consistent “scale.” The script then combines them into R = W + D, which represents the total blended momentum, where W supplies the slow structure and D supplies the fast impulse.
The indicator is plotted as a histogram using “R − W,” and that choice is intentional. Because R = W + D, the histogram value “R − W” is mathematically identical to D. In other words, the columns you see are the fast momentum component, but anchored to a clear baseline that reflects whether the fast component is adding to, or subtracting from, the slower component’s trend context. The zero line is the equilibrium point where R equals W, meaning the fast component is neutral relative to the slow trend context. When the histogram is above zero, the fast component is contributing positive momentum and the script colors the columns with the Bull color, indicating that R is above W and the short-term push is aligned to the upside. When the histogram is below zero, the fast component is contributing negative momentum and the script colors the columns with the Bear color, indicating that R is below W and the short-term push is aligned to the downside. If you enable “Color price bars,” the chart candles are painted with the same logic so you can visually stay in sync with the fast momentum regime without staring at the panel.
How to trade it comes down to treating the histogram as your actionable trigger layer and using its behavior around the zero line as the decision boundary. A basic long framework is to prioritize long trades when the histogram is above zero and either expanding or printing consecutive positive columns, because that tells you the fast momentum pulse is supportive and not fighting the current regime. The cleanest long entries usually occur when the histogram flips from negative to positive and holds above zero for at least a bar or two, because that transition often marks the shift from pullback pressure into renewed upside impulse. You can add selectivity by watching for a “dip and re-strengthen” pattern above zero: after a positive run, the histogram contracts toward the baseline without breaking materially below it, then turns back up, which often corresponds to a controlled pullback followed by continuation. A basic short framework is the mirror image: prioritize shorts when the histogram is below zero and expanding downward, and treat flips from positive to negative that hold below zero as the higher-quality transition into downside impulse. In both directions, the histogram is especially useful for avoiding trades during momentum dead zones, because when columns chop tightly around the zero line with frequent flips, it is signaling indecision and a lack of clean directional impulse, which is where most “false starts” tend to happen.
Risk management with this tool is straightforward because the oscillator gives you a natural invalidation concept. For long trades, a common invalidation is the histogram losing the zero line and staying negative, since that indicates the fast component has turned from supportive to opposing. For short trades, invalidation is the histogram regaining the zero line and holding positive. Another practical way to manage trades is to use histogram contraction as an early warning that the impulse is weakening. If you are long and positive columns begin to shrink toward zero for several bars, you can tighten risk, take partials, or wait for a fresh expansion before adding. If you are short and negative columns begin to shrink toward zero, the same concept applies. The optional W line can be shown if you want a visual anchor of the slow component; while the histogram is already built to reflect the fast component relative to the slow context, viewing W can help you quickly recognize whether the larger momentum backdrop is generally rising or falling, which can be used as an additional bias filter for trade selection.
In practice, the D&W PPO is best used as a momentum alignment and timing tool: the slow component defines the “weather,” the fast component defines the “wind,” and the histogram tells you whether the wind is pushing with the weather or pushing against it. When the histogram is cleanly one-sided and expanding, it supports continuation-style trading and trend-following entries. When the histogram is choppy around zero, it warns you that conditions are rotational and patience usually pays.

ROC+ADX Trend & Momentum System### Code Analysis: ROC+ADX Trend & Momentum System (v5 Pine Script)
#### **Core Function**
This Pine Script indicator integrates **Rate of Change (ROC)** and **Average Directional Index (ADX)** to build a professional trend-momentum trading system, which identifies trend strength, momentum changes, price divergences and generates actionable long/short trading signals for financial markets (stocks, crypto, forex). It features coordinated visual display, adaptive volatility adjustment and a comprehensive scoring mechanism for trend evaluation.
#### **Key Features (Concise)**
1. **Hybrid Indicator Logic**
Combines **ROC (12/6-period, EMA-smoothed)** (measures price momentum) and **ADX (14-period)** (identifies trend strength/direction, with +DI/-DI for trend bias), forming a dual-dimension analysis of trend + momentum.
2. **Adaptive Dynamic Threshold**
Adjusts momentum thresholds in real time based on **14-period ATR volatility**; higher market volatility raises thresholds, lower volatility lowers them, ensuring signal accuracy across different market conditions.
3. **Multi-Category Trading Signals**
Generates 4 core signal types: trend breakout (long/short), momentum boost/drop, trend reversal, and price-ROC bullish/bearish divergence, all filtered by ADX trend validity.
4. **Comprehensive Trend Scoring System**
Calculates a **0-100 trend score** (integrates ADX strength, ROC momentum, direction consistency, momentum persistence) and classifies trend intensity into 5 levels (Extreme/Strong/Medium/Weak/None).
5. **Coordinated Visual Display**
Supports scalable unified display for ROC & ADX values (custom scale factors), with color-coded lines, momentum histograms, heatmap background and reference lines for intuitive trend judgment.
6. **Informative Dashboard & Alerts**
Embeds a top-right info panel showing real values (ROC, ADX, volatility), trend level and active signals; includes multi-tier alert conditions for all key signals (breakout, reversal, divergence).
7. **High Customizability**
Full input configurability for all core parameters (periods, thresholds, scale factors) and visual toggles (show/hide ROC/ADX, signals, heatmap, reference lines).
#### **Technical Highlights**
- Uses EMA smoothing for ROC/ADX to reduce false signals;
- Identifies ROC momentum & acceleration for precise trend phase judgment;
- ADX grading (strong/weak/oscillation) filters invalid signals in sideways markets;
- Color-coded elements (lines, histograms, heatmap) reflect real-time trend/momentum status;
- Non-overlay layout ensures clear separation from price charts, optimized for multi-screen analysis.
IronRod Trigger SystemIRONROD TRIGGER SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
IronRod Trigger System is a momentum oscillator based on the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) that identifies trend changes, momentum shifts, and range-bound "chop" zones. Features color-changing SMI lines, histogram columns showing momentum strength, and a visual chop zone that highlights when to trade versus when to stay on the sidelines.
The system combines momentum direction (green/red lines), momentum strength (histogram columns), and market context (chop zone cloud) into one clean visual package. The dynamic zero line changes color to signal trade conditions (cyan) versus hold conditions (orange).
What Makes It Unique:
Dual color-changing lines (SMI and AvgSMI) show momentum direction
Histogram columns display momentum strength
Chop zone cloud identifies low-momentum periods
Dynamic zero line (cyan = trade, orange = hold)
Three-color histogram (green = strong up, red = strong down, gray = weak)
Adjustable chop zone threshold
How to Use
THE DISPLAY
Lines:
Green = bullish momentum (rising)
Red = bearish momentum (falling)
Gray = neutral/sideways
Histogram Columns:
Green = strong bullish momentum
Red = strong bearish momentum
Gray = weak/choppy momentum
Zero Line:
Cyan (blue) = trade zone - momentum is directional
Orange = chop zone - momentum is weak, avoid trading
Chop Zone Cloud:
Gray shaded area = range where momentum is indecisive (±30 default)
TRADING STRATEGIES
1. Chop Zone Trading
Trade: Only when SMI is outside gray cloud AND zero line is cyan
Avoid: When SMI is inside cloud OR zero line is orange
Long: Green line appears above chop zone
Short: Red line appears below chop zone
This is the key feature - dramatically reduces whipsaws
2. Zero Line Crosses
Buy: SMI crosses above zero with cyan zero line
Sell: SMI crosses below zero with cyan zero line
Strongest signals when AvgSMI follows SMI across zero
Ignore crosses when zero line is orange (choppy)
3. Histogram Strength
Strong trend: Multiple consecutive green/red columns
Momentum building: Columns getting taller
Momentum fading: Columns turning gray = exit warning
Reversal signal: Gray columns after strong trend
4. Divergence Trading
Bearish divergence: Price higher high, SMI lower high → take red line signal
Bullish divergence: Price lower low, SMI higher low → take green line signal
Most powerful outside chop zone
ENTRIES & EXITS
Entries:
SMI line turns green outside chop zone (long)
SMI line turns red outside chop zone (short)
SMI crosses zero with cyan zero line
Exits:
SMI line changes color
SMI enters chop zone (orange zero line)
Histogram turns gray
Stops:
Below recent swing low (longs)
Above recent swing high (shorts)
ADJUSTING SETTINGS
Chop Zone (±) (default: 30):
Lower (15-25) = More trades, more whipsaws
Higher (35-50) = Fewer trades, higher quality
Adjust based on instrument volatility
Percent K Length (default: 5):
Lower (3-4) = More sensitive, faster signals - good for scalping
Higher (7-10) = Less sensitive, smoother - good for swing trading

ACCDv3# ACCDv3 - Accumulation/Distribution MACD with Divergence Detection
## Overview
**ACCDv3** (Accumulation/Distribution MACD Version 3) is an advanced volume-weighted momentum indicator that combines the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line with MACD methodology and divergence detection. It helps identify trend strength, momentum shifts, and potential reversals by analyzing volume-weighted price movements.
## Key Features
- **Volume-Weighted MACD**: Applies MACD calculation to volume-weighted A/D values for earlier, more reliable signals
- **Divergence Detection**: Identifies when A/D trend diverges from MACD momentum
- **Volume Strength Filtering**: Distinguishes high-volume confirmations from low-volume noise
- **Color-Coded Histogram**: 4-color system showing momentum direction and volume strength
- **Real-Time Alerts**: Background colors and alert conditions for bullish/bearish divergences
## Components
### 1. Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Line
The A/D line measures buying and selling pressure by comparing the close price to the trading range, weighted by volume:
```
A/D = Σ ((2 × Close - Low - High) / (High - Low)) × Volume
```
- **Rising A/D**: More accumulation (buying pressure)
- **Falling A/D**: More distribution (selling pressure)
- **Doji Handling**: When High = Low, contribution is zero (avoids division errors)
### 2. Volume-Weighted MACD
Instead of simple EMAs, the indicator weights A/D values by volume:
- **Fast Line** (default 12): `EMA(A/D × Volume, 12) / EMA(Volume, 12)`
- **Slow Line** (default 26): `EMA(A/D × Volume, 26) / EMA(Volume, 26)`
- **MACD Line**: Fast Line - Slow Line (green line)
- **Signal Line** (default 9): EMA or SMA of MACD (orange line)
- **Histogram**: MACD - Signal (color-coded columns)
This volume-weighting ensures that periods with higher volume have greater influence on the indicator values.
### 3. Histogram Color System
The histogram uses 4 distinct colors based on **direction** and **volume strength**:
| Condition | Color | Meaning |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| Rising + High Volume | **Dark Green** (#1B5E20) | Strong bullish momentum with volume confirmation |
| Rising + Low Volume | **Light Teal** (#26A69A) | Bullish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) |
| Falling + High Volume | **Dark Red** (#B71C1C) | Strong bearish momentum with volume confirmation |
| Falling + Low Volume | **Light Red/Pink** (#FFCDD2) | Bearish momentum but weak volume (less reliable) |
Additional shading:
- **Light Cyan** (#B2DFDB): Positive but not rising (momentum stalling)
- **Bright Red** (#FF5252): Negative and accelerating down
### 4. Divergence Detection
Divergence occurs when A/D trend and MACD momentum move in opposite directions:
#### Bullish Divergence (Green Background)
- **Condition**: A/D is trending up BUT MACD is negative and trending down
- **Interpretation**: Accumulation increasing while momentum appears weak
- **Signal**: Potential bullish reversal or continuation
- **Action**: Look for entry opportunities or hold long positions
#### Bearish Divergence (Red Background)
- **Condition**: A/D is trending down BUT MACD is positive and trending up
- **Interpretation**: Distribution increasing while momentum appears strong
- **Signal**: Potential bearish reversal or weakening uptrend
- **Action**: Consider exits, tighten stops, or prepare for reversal
## Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Range | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------|-------------|
| **Fast Length** | 12 | 1-50 | Period for fast EMA (shorter = more sensitive) |
| **Slow Length** | 26 | 1-100 | Period for slow EMA (longer = smoother) |
| **Signal Smoothing** | 9 | 1-50 | Period for signal line (MACD smoothing) |
| **Signal Line MA Type** | EMA | SMA/EMA | Moving average type for signal calculation |
| **Volume MA Length** | 20 | 5-100 | Period for volume average (strength filter) |
## Usage Guide
### Reading the Indicator
1. **MACD Lines (Green & Orange)**
- **Crossovers**: When green crosses above orange = bullish, below = bearish
- **Distance**: Wider gap = stronger momentum
- **Zero Line**: Above = bullish bias, below = bearish bias
2. **Histogram Colors**
- Focus on **dark colors** (dark green/red) for high-confidence signals
- Be cautious with **light colors** (teal/pink) - wait for volume confirmation
- Watch for **rising red bars** (V-bottom pattern) = potential bullish reversal
- Watch for **falling green bars** (Λ-top pattern) = potential bearish reversal
3. **Background Divergence Alerts**
- **Green background**: Bullish divergence - consider long entries
- **Red background**: Bearish divergence - consider exits or shorts
- Best used in combination with price action and support/resistance levels
### Trading Strategies
#### Trend Following
1. Wait for MACD to cross above zero line with dark green histogram
2. Enter long when histogram shows consecutive dark green bars
3. Exit when histogram turns light green or red appears
#### Divergence Trading
1. Wait for background divergence alert (green or red)
2. Confirm with price action (support/resistance, candlestick patterns)
3. Enter on next dark-colored histogram bar in divergence direction
4. Set stops beyond recent swing high/low
#### Volume Confirmation
1. Ignore signals during low-volume periods (light colors)
2. Take aggressive positions during high-volume confirmations (dark colors)
3. Use volume strength as position sizing guide (larger size on dark bars)
### Best Practices
✓ **Combine with price action**: Don't rely on indicator alone
✓ **Wait for dark colors**: High-volume bars are more reliable
✓ **Watch for divergences**: Early warning signs of reversals
✓ **Use multiple timeframes**: Confirm signals across 1m, 5m, 15m
✓ **Respect zero line**: Trading direction should align with MACD side
✗ **Don't chase light-colored signals**: Low volume = lower reliability
✗ **Don't ignore context**: Market structure and levels matter
✗ **Don't over-trade**: Wait for clear, high-volume setups
✗ **Don't ignore alerts**: Divergences are early warnings
## Technical Details
### Volume-Weighted Calculation Method
Traditional MACD uses simple price EMAs. ACCDv3 weights each A/D value by its corresponding volume:
```pine
// Volume-weighted fast EMA
close_vol_fast = ta.ema(ad × volume, fast_length)
vol_fast = ta.ema(volume, fast_length)
vw_ad_fast = close_vol_fast / vol_fast
// Same for slow EMA
close_vol_slow = ta.ema(ad × volume, slow_length)
vol_slow = ta.ema(volume, slow_length)
vw_ad_slow = close_vol_slow / vol_slow
// MACD is the difference
macd = vw_ad_fast - vw_ad_slow
```
This ensures high-volume periods have proportionally more impact on the indicator.
### Volume Strength Filter
Determines whether current volume is above or below average:
```pine
vol_avg = ta.sma(volume, vol_length)
vol_strength = volume > vol_avg
```
Used to select dark (high volume) vs light (low volume) histogram colors.
### Divergence Logic
```pine
// A/D trending up if above its 5-period SMA
ad_trend = ad > ta.sma(ad, 5)
// MACD trending up if above zero
macd_trend = macd > 0
// Divergence when trends oppose
divergence = ad_trend != macd_trend
// Specific conditions
bullish_divergence = ad_trend and not macd_trend and macd < 0
bearish_divergence = not ad_trend and macd_trend and macd > 0
```
## Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alert conditions:
- **Bullish Divergence**: "Bullish Divergence: A/D trending up but MACD trending down"
- **Bearish Divergence**: "Bearish Divergence: A/D trending down but MACD trending up"
To enable:
1. Click "Create Alert" button in TradingView
2. Select "ACCDv3" as condition
3. Choose "Bullish Divergence" or "Bearish Divergence"
4. Configure notification method (popup, email, webhook, etc.)
## Comparison with Standard MACD
| Feature | Standard MACD | ACCDv3 |

| **Input** | Close price | Accumulation/Distribution line |
| **Weighting** | Simple EMA | Volume-weighted EMA |
| **Divergence** | Price vs MACD | A/D vs MACD |
| **Volume Analysis** | None | Built-in strength filter |
| **Color System** | 2 colors (up/down) | 4+ colors (direction + volume) |
| **Leading/Lagging** | Lagging | More leading (volume-weighted) |
## Example Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Strong Bullish Signal
- **Chart**: MACD crosses above zero line
- **Histogram**: Dark green bars (#1B5E20) appearing
- **Volume**: Above 20-period average
- **Action**: Enter long, strong momentum with volume confirmation
### Scenario 2: Weak Bearish Signal
- **Chart**: MACD crosses below zero line
- **Histogram**: Light pink bars (#FFCDD2) appearing
- **Volume**: Below 20-period average
- **Action**: Avoid shorting, low volume = unreliable signal
### Scenario 3: Bullish Divergence Reversal
- **Chart**: Price making lower lows
- **Indicator**: A/D line trending up, MACD negative
- **Background**: Green shading appears
- **Histogram**: Transitions from red to dark green
- **Action**: Look for long entry on next dark green bar
### Scenario 4: V-Bottom Reversal
- **Chart**: Downtrend in place
- **Histogram**: Red bars start rising (becoming less negative)
- **Pattern**: Forms "V" shape at bottom
- **Confirmation**: Transitions to dark green bars
- **Action**: Bullish reversal signal, consider long entry
## Timeframe Recommendations
- **1-minute**: Scalping, very fast signals (noisy, use with caution)
- **5-minute**: Intraday momentum trading (recommended)
- **15-minute**: Swing entries, clearer trend signals
- **1-hour+**: Position trading, major trend identification
## Limitations
- **Requires volume data**: Will not work on instruments without volume
- **Lag during consolidation**: MACD is inherently trend-following
- **False signals in chop**: Sideways markets generate noise
- **Not a standalone system**: Should be combined with price action and risk management
## Version History
- **v3**: Removed traditional price MACD, using only volume-weighted A/D MACD with A/D divergence
- **v2**: Added A/D divergence detection, volume strength filtering, enhanced histogram colors
- **v1**: Basic MACD on A/D line with volume-weighted calculation

able MACD Overview
Purpose: The indicator combines the traditional MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) with a short-term “forecast” (projection) of MACD/histogram values to give early warning of momentum changes.
Typical outputs:
MACD line (fastEMA − slowEMA)
Signal line (EMA of MACD)
Histogram (MACD − signal)
Forecasted MACD or histogram projected N bars ahead
Optional buy/sell markers and alert conditions
Add the indicator to TradingView (Installation)
Open TradingView and the chart you want to apply the indicator to.
Click “Pine Editor” at the bottom of the chart.
Copy the contents of able_macd_forecast.pine into the Pine Editor window.
Click “Add to chart” (or Save then Add to chart). If it’s a study, it will appear on the chart below price.
If you plan to re-use the script, click Save and give it a meaningful name.
Inputs / Parameters (typical) Note: exact input names may differ in your script. Replace the names below with the script’s input labels when you inspect it.
Source: price source for calculations (close, hl2, etc.).
Fast Length: length for the fast EMA (commonly 12).
Slow Length: length for the slow EMA (commonly 26).
Signal Length: length for the MACD signal EMA (commonly 9).
Forecast Length / Horizon: how many bars ahead the script projects the MACD/histogram (e.g., 1–5).
Forecast Method / Smoothing: choice of projection method (linear regression, EMA extrapolation, simple slope * N, etc.) if available.
Histogram Thresholds: numeric thresholds to emphasize significant momentum (optional).
Show Forecast: toggle on/off the forecast plot.
Alerts On/Off toggles: enable or disable alert conditions baked into the indicator.
Visual / Style settings: colors, plot thickness, histogram style (columns/areas), show labels, show buy/sell arrows.
How the indicator is typically calculated (summary)
MACD line = EMA(source, fast) − EMA(source, slow)
Signal line = EMA(MACD line, signal length)
Histogram = MACD − Signal
Forecast = method-specific short-term projection of MACD or histogram (for example: extend the last slope forward, apply linear regression to MACD values and extrapolate N bars, or apply an additional smoothing and extend that value) Note: For exact math, I need to inspect the script; this is the typical approach.
How to read the indicator (signals & interpretation)
Bullish signal:
MACD line crossing above the signal line (MACD cross up).
Histogram turns positive (cross above zero).
Forecast shows MACD/histogram moving higher in the next N bars (if forecast is positive or trending up).
Bearish signal:
MACD line crossing below the signal line (MACD cross down).
Histogram turns negative (cross below zero).
Forecast shows MACD/histogram moving lower ahead.
Confirmations:
Use price action (higher highs/lows for bullish, lower highs/lows for bearish).
Volume or other momentum/confluence indicators (RSI, ADX).
Divergences:
Bullish divergence: price makes lower low while MACD histogram makes higher low.
Bearish divergence: price makes higher high while MACD histogram makes lower high.
Forecast behavior:
If the forecast leads the MACD cross (forecast crosses before the current MACD does), it’s an early warning.
Use caution: forecasts are prone to false signals; always confirm.
Common trading setups using this indicator
Conservative:
Wait for MACD to cross signal + histogram above zero + forecast already trending same direction.
Use stop below recent swing low (for long) or above recent swing high (for short).
Aggressive (early entry):
Enter when forecast turns positive while MACD still below signal (anticipating cross).
Use tighter stops and smaller position sizes.
Exit rules:
Opposite MACD cross, histogram flipping sign, or a target based on risk-reward.
Use trailing stop based on ATR or structure.
Example settings for different timeframes (starting points)
Scalping / 5–15 min:
Fast 8, Slow 21, Signal 5, Forecast 1–2
Intraday / 1H:
Fast 12, Slow 26, Signal 9, Forecast 2–3
Swing / 4H–Daily:
Fast 12, Slow 26, Signal 9, Forecast 3–5 Adjust based on the asset volatility and backtests.
Adding alerts (TradingView)
Click the “Alerts” button (clock icon) or press Alt + A.
In the Condition dropdown, select the indicator name (able_macd_forecast) and choose a plotted series or built-in alert condition (if the script uses alertcondition).
Common alert types:
MACD crosses Signal (Crossing)
Histogram crosses 0 (Crossing)
Forecast crosses 0 or Forecast trend change (if provided)
Message templates:
“{{ticker}}: MACD crossed above signal on {{interval}}”
“{{ticker}} Forecast positive: MACD forecast shows upward momentum”
Customize the message for your trade automation or notifications.
Configure frequency (Only once, Once per bar, or Once per bar close) — for signals like crossovers, “Once per bar close” is usually safer to avoid repainting issues. Note: If the script includes alertcondition() calls with explicit IDs/messages, use those directly — they are the most reliable for automation.
Backtesting / Strategy conversion
If this script is a study (indicator), you can:
Convert it to a strategy by adding strategy.* order calls (strategy.entry, strategy.close) using the entry/exit logic you prefer, or
Use TradingView’s “Bar Replay” to manually test signals across different markets/timeframes.
If you want, I can help convert or write a strategy wrapper that uses the indicator’s signals to place backtest trades (I’ll need the code).
Practical tips & best practices
Use higher timeframe confirmation for lower-timeframe entries (e.g., check daily MACD momentum before trading 15m signals).
Beware of choppy markets; MACD / forecast may produce whipsaws. Combine with trend filters (moving average direction, ADX).
If you rely on forecasted values, prefer alerts “on bar close” when possible to reduce false alerts from intra-bar noise.
Tune parameters for the specific asset (FX, crypto, stocks have different behavior).
Record each signal and outcome for a sample period (20–100 trades) to evaluate performance.
Troubleshooting
Indicator won’t add: verify Pine version in script header (//@version=4 or //@version=5). TradingView may reject scripts with unsupported version syntax.
Plots missing: check script inputs (Some scripts hide plots if toggles are off).
Alerts firing too often: change alert frequency to “Once per bar close” or adjust threshold values.
Forecast seems to repaint: some forecast methods can repaint (use “bar_index” or store values only on closed bars, or use non-repainting forecast methods). Ask me to inspect the script for repainting logic.
What I can do next (recommended)
If you paste the content of able_macd_forecast.pine here, I will:
Produce a precise, line-by-line usage guide mapping to the exact input names and default values.
Show the exact plotted series names and how to reference them for alerts.
Point out any repainting risks and suggest fixes.
Provide example alert messages that match the script’s alertcondition IDs (if any).
Optionally convert it into a strategy for backtesting, or add non-repainting forecast logic if needed.
Low Range Predictor [NR4/NR7 after WR4/WR7/WR20, within 1-3Days]Indicator Overview
The Low Range Predictor is a TradingView indicator displayed in a single panel below the chart. It spots volatility contraction setups (NR4/NR7 within 1–3 days of WR4/WR7/WR20) to predict low-range moves (e.g., <0.5% daily on SPY) over 2–5 days, perfect for your weekly 15/22 DTE put calendar spread strategy.
What You See
• Red Histograms (WR, Volatility Climax):
• WR4: Half-length red bars, widest range in 4 bars.
• WR7: Three-quarter-length red bars, widest in 7 bars.
• WR20: Full-length red bars, widest in 20 bars.
• Green Histograms (NR, Entry Signals):
• NR4: Half-length green bars, only on NR4 days (tightest range in 4 bars) within 1–3 days of a WR4.
• NR7: Full-length green bars, only on NR7 days within 1–3 days of a WR7.
• Panel: All signals (red WR4/WR7/WR20, green NR4/NR7) show in one panel below the chart, with green bars marking put calendar entry days.
Probabilities
• Volatility Contraction:
• NR4 after WR4: 65–70% chance of daily ranges <0.5% on SPY for 2–5 days (ATR drops 20–30%). Occurs ~2–3 times/month.
• NR7 after WR7: 60–65% chance of similar low ranges, less frequent (~1–2 times/month).
• Backtest (SPY, 2000–2025): 65% of NR4/NR7 signals lead to reduced volatility (<0.7% daily range) vs. 50% for random days.
• Signal Frequency: NR4 signals are more common than NR7, ideal for weekly entries. WR20 provides context but isn’t tied to NR signals.
MACD Forecast [Titans_Invest]MACD Forecast — The Future of MACD in Trading
The MACD has always been one of the most powerful tools in technical analysis.
But what if you could see where it’s going, instead of just reacting to what has already happened?
Introducing MACD Forecast — the natural evolution of the MACD Full , now taken to the next level. It’s the world’s first MACD designed not only to analyze the present but also to predict the future behavior of momentum.
By combining the classic MACD structure with projections powered by Linear Regression, this indicator gives traders an anticipatory, predictive view, redefining what’s possible in technical analysis.
Forget lagging indicators.
This is the smartest, most advanced, and most accurate MACD ever created.
🍟 WHY MACD FORECAST IS REVOLUTIONARY
Unlike the traditional MACD, which only reflects current and past price dynamics, the MACD Forecast uses regression-based projection models to anticipate where the MACD line, signal line, and histogram are heading.
This means traders can:
• See MACD crossovers before they happen.
• Spot trend reversals earlier than most.
• Gain an unprecedented timing advantage in both discretionary and automated trading.
In other words: this indicator lets you trade ahead of time.
🔮 FORECAST ENGINE — POWERED BY LINEAR REGRESSION
At its core, the MACD Forecast integrates Linear Regression (ta.linreg) to project the MACD’s future behavior with exceptional accuracy.
Projection Modes:
• Flat Projection: Assumes trend continuity at the current level.
• LinReg Projection: Applies linear regression across N periods to mathematically forecast momentum shifts.
This dual system offers both a conservative and adaptive view of market direction.
📐 ACCURACY WITH FULL CUSTOMIZATION
Just like the MACD Full, this new version comes with 20 customizable buy-entry conditions and 20 sell-entry conditions — now enhanced with forecast-based rules that anticipate crossovers and trend reversals.
You’re not just reacting — you’re strategizing ahead of time.
⯁ HOW TO USE MACD FORECAST❓
The MACD Forecast is built on the same foundation as the classic MACD, but with predictive capabilities.
Step 1 — Spot Predicted Crossovers:
Watch for forecasted bullish or bearish crossovers. These signals anticipate when the MACD line will cross the signal line in the future, letting you prepare trades before the move.
Step 2 — Confirm with Histogram Projection:
Use the projected histogram to validate momentum direction. A rising histogram signals strengthening bullish momentum, while a falling projection points to weakening or bearish conditions.
Step 3 — Combine with Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Use forecasts across multiple timeframes to confirm signal strength (e.g., a 1h forecast aligned with a 4h forecast).
Step 4 — Set Entry Conditions & Automation:
Customize your buy/sell rules with the 20 forecast-based conditions and enable automation for bots or alerts.
Step 5 — Trade Ahead of the Market:
By preparing for future momentum shifts instead of reacting to the past, you’ll always stay one step ahead of lagging traders.
🤖 BUILT FOR AUTOMATION AND BOTS 🤖
Whether for manual trading, quantitative strategies, or advanced algorithms, the MACD Forecast was designed to integrate seamlessly with automated systems.
With predictive logic at its core, your strategies can finally react to what’s coming, not just what already happened.
🥇 WHY THIS INDICATOR IS UNIQUE 🥇
• World’s first MACD with Linear Regression Forecasting
• Predictive Crossovers (before they appear on the chart)
• Maximum flexibility with Long & Short combinations — 20+ fully configurable conditions for tailor-made strategies
• Fully automatable for quantitative systems and advanced bots
This isn’t just an update.
It’s the final evolution of the MACD.

BySq - Market PsychologyThe script I provided is a Market Psychology Index indicator for TradingView, which focuses on three key psychological market phases:
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
Panic Selling
Reversal
This indicator uses volume, price changes, and specific time periods to gauge market sentiment. Let me break it down:
1. Input Parameters:
FOMO Period: Defines how many bars (candles) the FOMO index will consider for its calculation.
Panic Period: Defines the period to evaluate Panic Selling.
Reversal Period: Defines the period to evaluate potential price reversals.
You can adjust these periods based on your analysis preferences. The default for each period is 14.
2. FOMO Index:
The FOMO Index aims to capture the "fear of missing out" behavior in the market.
It uses volume and price change:
Volume is compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume over the specified period.
Price change is calculated as the percentage change in price compared to the previous bar.
If both volume and price change indicate strong upward movement, the FOMO index spikes.
3. Panic Selling Index:
The Panic Selling Index captures when traders are selling out of fear, often in a rapid or irrational way.
Similar to the FOMO Index, it considers volume and price change:
It uses volume and compares it to the SMA of volume for the panic period.
Price change is negative, meaning it considers only price drops.
When there is high volume coupled with significant price drops, it signals panic selling.
4. Reversal Index:
The Reversal Index aims to detect potential trend reversals in the market.
This index also considers volume and price change:
It focuses on upward price movement and compares volume to its SMA.
If there’s strong upward price movement along with increasing volume, it signals the possibility of a price reversal.
5. Graphical Output:
Histograms are drawn on the chart for each of the three indices:
FOMO is shown in green (indicating the presence of FOMO) and red (when the index is low).
Panic Selling is shown in orange.
Reversal is shown in purple.
The Zero Line (horizontal dotted line) helps identify when any of the indices is positive or negative.
6. Labels:
Labels for each index are shown on the chart at the relevant bar when the index spikes.
FOMO is labeled "FOMO" in green when it spikes.
Panic Selling is labeled "Panic Selling" in orange when it spikes.
Reversal is labeled "Reversal" in purple when it spikes.
Additionally, period labels show above the chart, indicating the specific periods (FOMO, Panic, and Reversal periods) currently being applied. This provides clarity on what time frame each index is analyzing.
7. How to Use:
FOMO: High values may indicate that traders are buying out of fear of missing out on a rally, suggesting a potentially overheated market.
Panic Selling: High values could suggest irrational selling behavior or capitulation, potentially marking the bottom of a downtrend.
Reversal: High values signal the potential for a market reversal, where the price could change direction due to increased volume and upward movement.
8. Visual Appearance:
The indicator’s histograms change colors based on the level of market sentiment detected. The color-coded approach provides an easy-to-read visual representation of different psychological phases in the market.
The horizontal zero line allows easy differentiation between positive and negative values.
Summary:
This script combines the psychology of the market (FOMO, Panic Selling, and Reversal) into a set of indicators that help traders identify potential turning points or emotional states in the market. By focusing on volume and price change, the script attempts to give a clear picture of market sentiment and possible future movements.
ATR - Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon🧭 Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR)
The Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR) is an enhanced and reimagined version of the standard Average True Range (ATR) indicator. It visualizes not just raw volatility, but the structure, momentum, and efficiency of volatility through a multi-layered visual approach.
It contains two distinct visual systems:
1. A zero-centered histogram that expresses how current volatility compares to its historical average, with intensity and color showing speed and conviction
2. A braided ribbon made of dual ATR-based moving averages that highlight transitions in volatility behavior—whether volatility is expanding or contracting
The name reflects its purpose: to capture asymmetric, evolving turbulence in market behavior, through structure-aware volatility tracking.
_______________________________________________________________
🔧 Inputs (Fibonacci defaults)
ATR Length
Lookback period for ATR calculation (default: 13)
ATR Base Avg. Length
Moving average period used as the zero baseline for histogram (default: 55)
ATR ROC Lookback
Number of bars to measure rate of change for histogram color mapping (default: 8)
Timeframe Override
Optionally calculate ATR values from a higher or fixed timeframe (e.g., 1D) for macro-volatility overlay
Show Ribbon Fill
Toggles colored fill between ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show ATR MAs
Toggles visibility of ATR EMA and HMA lines
Show Crossover Markers
Shows directional triangle markers where ATR EMA and HMA cross
Show Histogram
Toggles the entire histogram display
_______________________________________________________________
📊 Histogram Component: Volatility Energy Profile
The histogram shows how far the current ATR is from its moving average baseline, centered around zero. This lets you interpret volatility pressure—whether it's expanding, contracting, or preparing to reverse.
To complement this, the indicator also plots the raw ATR line in aqua. This is the actual average true range value—used internally in both the histogram and ribbon calculations. By default, it appears as a slightly thicker line, providing a clear reference point for comparing historical volatility trends and absolute levels.
Use the baseline ATR to:
- Compare real-time volatility to previous peaks or troughs
- Monitor how ATR behaves near histogram flips or ribbon crossovers
- Evaluate volatility phases in absolute terms alongside relative momentum
The ATR line is particularly helpful for users who want to keep tabs on raw volatility values while still benefiting from the enhanced visual storytelling of the histogram and ribbon systems.
Each histogram bar is colored based on the rate of change (ROC) in ATR: The faster ATR rises or falls, the more intense the color. Meanwhile, the opacity of each bar is adjusted by the effort/result ratio of the price candle (body vs. range), showing how much price movement was achieved with conviction.
Color Interpretation:
🔴 Red
Strong volatility expansion
Market entering or deepening into a volatility burst
Seen during breakouts, panic moves, or macro shock events
Often accompanied by large real candle bodies
🟠 Orange
Moderate volatility expansion
Heating up phase, often precedes breakouts
Common in strong trending environments
Signals tightening before acceleration
🟡 Yellow
Mild volatility increase
Transitional state—energy building, not yet exploding
Appears in early trend development or pullbacks
🟢 Green
Mild volatility contraction
ATR cooling off
Seen during consolidation, reversion, or range balance
Good time to assess upcoming directional setups
🔵 Aqua
Moderate compression
Volatility is clearly declining
Signals consolidation within larger structure
Pre-breakout zones often form here
🔵 Deep Blue
Strong volatility compression
Market is coiling or dormant
Can signal upcoming squeeze or fade environment
Often followed by sharp expansion
Opacity scaling:
Brighter bars = efficient, directional price action (strong bodies)
Faded bars = indecision, chop, absorption, or wick-heavy structure
Together, color and opacity give a 2D view of market volatility: Hue = the type and direction of volatility
Opacity = the quality and structure behind it
Use this to gauge whether volatility is rising with conviction, fading into neutrality, or compressing toward breakout potential.
_______________________________________________________________
🪡 Ribbon Component: Volatility Rhythm Structure
The ribbon overlays two moving averages of ATR:
EMA (yellow) – faster, more reactive
HMA (orange) – smoother, more rhythmic
Their relationship creates the ribbon logic:
Yellow fill (EMA > HMA)
Short-term volatility is increasing faster than the longer-term rhythm
Signals active expansion and engagement
Orange fill (HMA > EMA)
Volatility is decaying or leveling off
Suggests possible exhaustion, pullback, or range
Crossover triangle markers (optional, off by default to avoid clutter) identify the moment of shift in volatility phase.
The ribbon reflects the shape of volatility over time—ideal for mapping cyclical energy shifts, transitional states, and alignment between current and average volatility.
_______________________________________________________________
📐 Strategy Application
Use the Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon to:
- Detect volatility expansions before breakouts or directional runs
- Spot compression zones that precede structural ruptures
- Visually separate efficient moves from noisy market activity
- Confirm or fade trade setups based on underlying energy state
- Track the volatility environment across multiple timeframes using the override
_______________________________________________________________
🎯 Ideal Timeframes
Designed to function across all timeframes, but particularly powerful on intraday to daily ranges (1H to 1D)
Use the timeframe override to anchor your chart in higher-timeframe volatility context, like daily ATR behavior influencing a 1H setup.
_______________________________________________________________
🧬 Customization Tips
- Increase ATR ROC Lookback for smoother color transitions
- Extend ATR Base Avg Length for more macro-driven histogram centering
- Disable the histogram for ribbon-only rhythm view
- Use opacity and color shifts in the histogram to detect stealth energy builds
- Align ATR phases with structure or order flow tools for high-quality setups

Understanding Market Dynamics Through MACD Boundary PSA
At its core, this indicator provides a unique lens to visualize market momentum and boundaries:
1. Momentum Strength: The histogram height/depth shows the strength of current momentum, with color intensity providing additional context about acceleration or deceleration.
2. Dynamic Boundaries: The marker lines create a visual representation of the "high water marks" of momentum in both directions, helping to identify when markets are making new momentum extremes.
3. Exhaustion Signals: The peak detection system highlights moments where momentum has reached a local maximum or minimum, often precursors to reversals or consolidations.
4. Trend Confirmation: The histogram color and intensity provide instant feedback about the current trend direction and strength, with special colors highlighting particularly significant moves.
Remember:
- Combine signals from histogram, marker lines, and peak formations
- Use appropriate timeframe settings for your trading style
- Customize the indicator to match your visual preferences
- Consider market conditions and correlate with price action
This indicator works best when:
- Used as part of a comprehensive trading system

MACD Sniper [trade_lexx]📈 MACD Sniper — Improve your trading strategy with accurate signals!
Introducing the MACD Sniper , an advanced trading indicator designed for a comprehensive analysis of market conditions. This indicator combines MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) with various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, KAMA, HMA, ZLEMA, TEMA, ALMA, DEMA), providing traders with a powerful tool for generating buy and sell signals. It is ideal for traders who need an advantage in detecting changes in trends and market conditions.
🔍 How the signals work
1. Histogram signals:
— A buy signal is generated when the MACD histogram is below zero and begins to grow after the minimum number of falling histogram columns, which are indicated in the indicator menu. This indicates that selling pressure has decreased, the market is oversold and ready for a rebound. The signals are displayed as green triangles labeled "H" under the histogram graph. On the main chart, buy signals are displayed as green triangles labeled "Buy" under candlesticks.
— A sell signal is generated when the MACD histogram is above zero and begins to fall after the minimum number of growing histogram columns, which are indicated in the indicator menu. This indicates that the buying pressure has decreased, the market is overbought and ready for correction. The signals are displayed as red triangles labeled "H" above the histogram graph. On the main chart, the sell signals are displayed as red triangles with the word "Sell" above the candlesticks.
2. Moving Average Crossing Signals (MA):
— A buy signal is generated when the Fast Moving Average (MACD) crosses the Slow Moving Average (Signal Line) from bottom to top. This indicates a possible upward reversal of the market. The signals are displayed as green triangles labeled "MA" under the MACD chart. On the main chart, buy signals are displayed as green triangles labeled "Buy" under candlesticks.
— A sell signal is generated when the Fast Moving Average (MACD) crosses the slow Moving Average (Signal Line) from top to bottom. This indicates a possible downward reversal of the market. The signals are displayed as red triangles labeled "MA" above the MACD chart. On the main chart, the sell signals are displayed as red triangles with the word "Sell" above the candlesticks.
🔧 Signal filtering
— Minimum number of bars between signals
This filter allows the user to set the minimum number of bars that must pass between the generation of two consecutive signals. This helps to avoid frequent false alarms and improves the quality of the generated signals. Setting this parameter allows you to filter out the noise in the market and make the signals more reliable. For example, if the value is set to 5, then a new signal will be generated only after 5 bars have passed since the previous signal.
— "Wait for the opposite signal" mode
In this mode, Buy and Sell signals are generated only after receiving the opposite signal. This means that a buy signal will be generated only after the previous sell signal, and vice versa. This approach adds an additional level of filtering and helps to avoid false positives. This is especially useful in conditions of high market volatility, when false signals often occur.
— RSI filter
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is used for additional filtering of buy and sell signals. The RSI helps determine whether a market is overbought or oversold. The user can set overbought and oversold levels, and signals will be generated only when the RSI is in the specified ranges. For example, a buy signal will be generated only if the RSI is in the range between 10 and 30 (oversold), and a sell signal if the RSI is in the range between 70 and 90 (overbought). This helps to avoid false signals in extreme market conditions.
🔌 Connector Histogram, MA, Combined 🔌
These parameters allow you to connect the indicator to trading strategies and test the signals throughout the trading history. This makes the indicator an even more powerful tool for traders who want to test the effectiveness of their strategies on historical data.
Connector Histogram provides the ability to connect signals based on the MACD histogram to trading strategies.
Connector MA allows you to connect signals based on the intersection of moving averages (MA) of the MACD, which can also be used for automatic trading or strategy testing.
The combined connector combines signals based on both a histogram and the intersection of moving averages, making the analysis more comprehensive and reliable, which is especially useful for traders seeking to improve the quality of their trading decisions.
🔔 Alerts
The indicator provides the ability to set up notifications for buy and sell signals, which allows traders to keep abreast of important market events without having to constantly monitor the chart. Users can set up notifications that will alert them when buy or sell signals appear, helping them respond to market changes in a timely manner and make informed decisions. These notifications can be configured for various types of signals, such as signals based on the MACD histogram, moving average crossings, or all at once, which makes the indicator a more convenient and functional tool for active traders.
🎨 Customizable Appearance
Customize the appearance of the MACD Sniper according to your preferences to make the analysis more convenient and visually pleasing. In the indicator settings section, you can change the colors of the buy and sell signals so that they stand out on the chart and are easily visible. For example, buy signals can be green, and sell signals can be red. These settings allow traders to adapt the indicator to their individual needs, making it more flexible and user-friendly.
🔧 How it works
The MACD Sniper indicator starts by calculating the MACD values and moving averages for a specific period in order to assess market conditions. For this, fast and slow moving averages are used, as well as a signal line, which are calculated based on the set parameters. The indicator then analyzes the MACD histogram to determine whether the difference between the fast and slow moving averages is rising or falling. Based on this analysis, buy and sell signals are generated. Additionally, the indicator uses the RSI filter to filter out false signals in overbought or oversold market conditions. The user can set the minimum number of bars between the signals and the "Wait for the opposite signal" mode for additional filtering. The indicator dynamically adjusts to changes in the market, providing relevant signals in real time.
📚 Quick guide to using the MACD Sniper

— Analyze the test results to determine how reliable the signals are and how they can improve your trading strategy. This will help you make more informed decisions and increase your trading efficiency.
Divergence Indicator Multi [TradingFinder] MACD AO RSI DIV Chart🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is Divergence in Financial Markets?
Divergence in technical analysis happens when the price of a stock moves in a direction opposite to certain indicators. This is a crucial concept in financial markets as it can signal either a trend reversal or a continuation of the current correction in the trend. Understanding divergence helps traders and analysts make more informed decisions.
🟣 Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
A positive regular divergence occurs at the end of a downtrend, where two price lows form. This divergence appears when the price chart shows a new low, but the indicator does not follow, signaling potential buying opportunities.
Positive divergence indicates increased buying pressure and reduced selling pressure, making it a useful signal for forecasting price increases.
🟣 Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
A negative regular divergence is seen during an uptrend when two price highs form. The price chart records a new high, but the indicator does not reflect this change, suggesting that a market downturn is likely.
This type of divergence shows strong selling pressure and weaker buying activity, which can help identify selling opportunities.
Both positive and negative divergences are powerful tools for identifying potential trend reversals and key support and resistance levels. For example, when an indicator trends upward while the price moves downward, this creates divergence, warning traders to reconsider their investment strategy.
🟣 Different Types of Divergence in Trading
1. Regular Divergence :
o Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
o Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
2. Hidden Divergence :
o Positive Hidden Divergence (HD+)
o Negative Hidden Divergence (HD-)
3.Time Divergence.
Note : This guide focuses specifically on Regular Divergence.
🟣 What is Regular Divergence?
Regular Divergence, often referred to as convergence, occurs when price action and indicators show conflicting patterns, usually signaling the end of a trend. Detecting regular divergence helps traders anticipate potential trend reversals or the formation of reversal patterns.
🔵 How to Use
To optimize the detection of divergence, you can adjust the Fractal Period to specify the length of time for identifying divergence patterns.
Additionally, with the Divergence Detection Method, you can select oscillators like the MACD, RSI, or AO to base divergence detection on.
Divergence in MACD :
MACD divergence occurs when the price chart forms an opposite pattern compared to the MACD line, indicating a potential price reversal.
Divergence in RSI :
In a downtrend, if the price chart forms two consecutive lows with the second lower than the first, but the RSI shows two lows with the second higher, this indicates positive regular divergence, which is a buy signal.
On the other hand, during an uptrend, if the price forms two highs with the second higher than the first, but the RSI shows the second high lower, this points to negative regular divergence, indicating a sell signal.
Divergence in AO (Awesome Oscillator) :
The AO indicator calculates histograms using the difference between 5-period and 34-period simple moving averages. It compares peaks and troughs of these histograms with price movements, detecting divergence and plotting lines and arrows to signal divergence.
🔵 Table
The following table breaks down the main features of the oscillator. It covers four critical categories: Exist, Consecutive, Divergence Quality, and Change Phase Indicator.
Exist : If divergence is detected, a "+" will appear in this row.
Consecutive: Shows the number of consecutive divergences that have formed in a short period.
Divergence Quality : Evaluates the quality of the divergence based on the number of occurrences. One is labeled "Normal," two are "Good," and three or more are considered "Strong."
Change Phase Indicator : If a phase change is detected between two oscillation peaks, this is marked in the table.
FVG OscillatorThe FVG Oscillator, developed by OmegaTools and available on TradingView, is a specialized analytical tool designed to offer traders insight into the market's potential direction through the lens of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). This script combines traditional oscillator functionality with a unique focus on FVGs, providing a nuanced approach to understanding market dynamics.
Understanding FVGs and Their Importance:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are identified when there's a discrepancy between the high price of one session and the low of the subsequent session (or vice versa), indicating areas where price movements have skipped over, creating a gap. These gaps often signal potential price movement areas, as markets may move to "fill" these gaps. The FVG Oscillator is designed to quantify these occurrences and their potential impact on market direction.
Key Features of the FVG Oscillator:
- Adjustable Lookback Period: Traders can set the number of bars back (defaulted at 50) to adjust the sensitivity of the oscillator to recent market activity.
- Visual Area Representation: The option to display areas of positive and negative FVG occurrences provides a visual representation of market sentiment over the selected period.
- Color Customisation: Users can personalize the oscillator's appearance with color selections for positive and negative movements, enhancing readability and analysis.
- Volume and ATR Confirmation: Incorporates volume data and Average True Range (ATR) filtering to verify FVG occurrences, adding a layer of validation to the identified gaps.
Operational Mechanism:
The oscillator tallies bullish FVG occurrences as positive values and bearish FVG occurrences as negative values over the specified lookback period. It then applies volume and ATR criteria to confirm the significance of these gaps. The final output is an oscillator line that reflects the net value of bullish versus bearish FVGs, alongside histograms that show the width (or significance) of long and short patterns based on confirmed FVGs.
How to Use the FVG Oscillator:
- After adding the FVG Oscillator to your TradingView chart, adjust the 'Bars Back' input to tailor the oscillator's sensitivity to your trading strategy.
- Use the net value line to gauge the overall market sentiment based on FVG occurrences; a higher net value suggests bullish sentiment, while a lower value indicates bearish sentiment.
- The histograms provide an additional layer of insight, highlighting the relative strength and significance of confirmed bullish and bearish FVGs.
Application in Trading:
The FVG Oscillator is intended as an analytical tool to complement your existing trading strategy. By offering a unique perspective on FVG occurrences and their potential market implications, the oscillator can help inform your trading decisions. However, traders are encouraged to combine this tool with other forms of analysis and employ sound risk management practices.
Originality and Usefulness:
This oscillator is original in its integration of FVG analysis with traditional oscillator metrics, offering traders a novel tool for market analysis. Its usefulness lies in its ability to provide a quantitative and visual representation of FVGs, aiding traders in identifying potential market movements.
Disclaimer:
It is important for traders to understand that the financial markets are inherently unpredictable, and the FVG Oscillator is not a predictive tool nor does it guarantee trading success. It should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, incorporating additional market analysis and risk management practices. Remember, past performance does not necessarily predict future results, and trading involves risks, including the potential loss of capital.
Candle Color RatioThe Candle Color Ratio indicator is designed to analyze the ratio of green (bullish) to red (bearish) candles over a specified lookback period. This ratio can offer insights into the prevailing market sentiment and potential trend reversals. The indicator calculates the number of green and red candles and provides two key metrics: the Green to Red Ratio and the Red to Green Ratio. Additionally, it allows users to set a threshold for these ratios to identify extreme sentiment conditions.
Calculations :
- Green Score and Red Score: The script first checks the color of the candles over a user-defined lookback period (up to 10 bars back). For each bar, it assesses whether the closing price is higher (green) or lower (red) than the opening price. The green and red scores are calculated by counting the number of green and red candles, respectively, within the lookback period.
- Green to Red Ratio: This metric is the ratio of the Green Score to the Red Score. It quantifies the relative prevalence of bullish candles compared to bearish candles within the specified lookback period. A higher Green to Red ratio indicates a stronger bullish sentiment.
- Red to Green Ratio: This metric is the inverse of the Green to Red Ratio. It calculates the relative prevalence of bearish candles compared to bullish candles within the lookback period. A higher Red to Green ratio indicates a stronger bearish sentiment.
Interpretation :
- Green Score and Red Score: These histograms display the raw counts of green and red candles within the lookback period. Traders can use these histograms to observe the recent distribution of bullish and bearish candles.
- Green to Red Ratio: This line graph represents the ratio of bullish candles to bearish candles. When this ratio is above 1, it indicates a predominantly bullish sentiment, suggesting potential upward momentum. Conversely, when it's below 1, it signifies a bearish sentiment, suggesting potential downward pressure.
- Red to Green Ratio: This line graph represents the inverse ratio, indicating the strength of bearish sentiment relative to bullish sentiment. Similar to Green to Red, values above 1 indicate a bearish bias, while values below 1 indicate a bullish bias.
- Ratio Threshold: The white horizontal line on the chart represents the user-defined threshold. Traders can set this threshold to identify extreme sentiment conditions. When either the Green to Red ratio or Red to Green ratio crosses the threshold, it may signal overbought (above threshold) or oversold (below threshold) market conditions.
Potential Applications:
- Trend Confirmation: Traders can use this indicator to confirm the prevailing trend. A strong GRratioScore may validate a bullish trend, while a strong RGratioScore may confirm a bearish trend.
Contrarian Signals: Extreme readings (crossing the threshold) can be interpreted as potential reversal points. For example, a very high GRratioScore followed by a crossover below the threshold might indicate an overbought market and a potential bearish reversal.
Divergence Analysis: Traders can analyze divergences between price movements and the indicator. If price makes higher highs while the indicator shows lower highs, it may signal a weakening bullish trend.
Limitations:
- Lookback Period: The indicator's effectiveness may vary depending on the selected lookback period. Longer periods smooth out fluctuations but may lag in capturing recent changes in sentiment.
- Threshold Sensitivity: The interpretation of extreme readings can be subjective. Traders should carefully select and adjust the threshold based on their trading strategy and market conditions.
- Lack of Context: This indicator solely focuses on candle color ratios and does not consider other factors like volume, market news, or fundamental analysis. It should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques.
This indicator provides a simple yet valuable tool for assessing market sentiment and potential trend reversals based on candle color ratios. Traders can use this information to make informed trading decisions, but it's essential to consider its limitations and use it as part of a comprehensive trading strategy.
Heatmap MACD Strategy - Pineconnector (Dynamic Alerts)Hello traders
This script is an upgrade of this template script.
Heatmap MACD Strategy
Pineconnector
Pineconnector is a trading bot software that forwards TradingView alerts to your Metatrader 4/5 for automating trading.
Many traders don't know how to dynamically create Pineconnector-compatible alerts using the data from their TradingView scripts.
Traders using trading bots want their alerts to reflect the stop-loss/take-profit/trailing-stop/stop-loss to breakeven options from your script and then create the orders accordingly.
This script showcases how to create Pineconnector alerts dynamically.
Pineconnector doesn't support alerts with multiple Take Profits.
As a workaround, for 2 TPs, I had to open two trades.
It's not optimal, as we end up paying more spreads for that extra trade - however, depending on your trading strategy, it may not be a big deal.
TradingView Alerts
1) You'll have to create one alert per asset X timeframe = 1 chart.
Example : 1 alert for EUR/USD on the 5 minutes chart, 1 alert for EUR/USD on the 15-minute chart (assuming you want your bot to trade the EUR/USD on the 5 and 15-minute timeframes)
2) For each alert, the alert message is pre-configured with the text below
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}
Please leave it as it is.
It's a TradingView native variable that will fetch the alert text messages built by the script.
3) Don't forget to set the webhook URL in the Notifications tab of the TradingView alerts UI.
EA configuration
The Pyramiding in the EA on Metatrader must be set to 2 if you want to trade with 2 TPs => as it's opening 2 trades.
If you only want 1 TP, set the EA Pyramiding to 1.
Regarding the other EA settings, please refer to the Pineconnector documentation on their website.
Logger
The Pineconnector commands are logged in the TradingView logger.
You'll find more information about it from this TradingView blog post
Important Notes
1) This multiple MACDs strategy doesn't matter much.
I could have selected any other indicator or concept for this script post.
I wanted to share an example of how you can quickly upgrade your strategy, making it compatible with Pineconnector.
2) The backtest results aren't relevant for this educational script publication.
I used realistic backtesting data but didn't look too much into optimizing the results, as this isn't the point of why I'm publishing this script.
3) This template is made to take 1 trade per direction at any given time.
Pyramiding is set to 1 on TradingView.
The strategy default settings are:
Initial Capital: 100000 USD
Position Size: 1 contract
Commission Percent: 0.075%
Slippage: 1 tick
No margin/leverage used
For example, those are realistic settings for trading CFD indices with low timeframes but not the best possible settings for all assets/timeframes.
Concept
The Heatmap MACD Strategy allows selecting one MACD in five different timeframes.
You'll get an exit signal whenever one of the 5 MACDs changes direction.
Then, the strategy re-enters whenever all the MACDs are in the same direction again.
It takes:
long trades when all the 5 MACD histograms are bullish
short trades when all the 5 MACD histograms are bearish
You can select the same timeframe multiple times if you don't need five timeframes.
For example, if you only need the 30min, the 1H, and 2H, you can set your timeframes as follow:
30m
30m
30m
1H
2H
Risk Management Features
All the features below are pips-based.
Stop-Loss
Trailing Stop-Loss
Stop-Loss to Breakeven after a certain amount of pips has been reached
Take Profit 1st level and closing X% of the trade
Take Profit 2nd level and close the remaining of the trade
Custom Exit
I added the option ON/OFF to close the opened trade whenever one of the MACD diverges with the others.
Help me help the community
If you see any issue when adding your strategy logic to that template regarding the orders fills on your Metatrader, please let me know in the comments.
I'll use your feedback to make this template more robust. :)
What's next?
I'll publish a more generic template built as a connector so you can connect any indicator to that Pineconnector template.
Then, I'll publish a template for Capitalise AI, ProfitView, AutoView, and Alertatron.
Thank you
Dave

MACDh with divergences & impulse system (overlayed on prices)-----------------------------------------------------------------
General Description:
This indicator ( the one on the top panel above ) consists on some lines, arrows and labels drawn over the price bars/candles indicating the detection of regular divergences between price and the classic MACD histogram (shown on the low panel). This script is special because it can be adjusted to fit several criteria when trading divergences filtering them according to the "height" and "width" of the patterns. The script also includes the "extra features" Impulse System and Keltner Channels, which you will hardly find anywhere else in similar classic MACD histogram divergence indicators.
The indicator helps to find trend reversals, and it works on any market, any instrument, any timeframe, and any market condition (except against really strong trends that do not show any other sign of reversion yet).
Please take on consideration that divergences should be taken with caution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Definition of classic Bullish and Bearish divergences:
* Bearish divergences occur in uptrends identifying market tops. A classical or regular bearish divergence occurs when prices reach a new high and then pull back, with an oscillator (MACD histogram in this case) dropping below its zero line. Prices stabilize and rally to a higher high, but the oscillator reaches a lower peak than it did on a previous rally.
In the chart above (weekly charts of NKE, Nike, Inc.), in area X (around August 2021), NKE rallied to a new bull market high and MACD-Histogram rallied with it, rising above its previous peak and showing that bulls were extremely strong. In area Y, MACD-H fell below its centerline and at the same time prices punched below the zone between the two moving averages. In area Z, NKE rallied to a new bull market high, but the rally of MACD-H was feeble, reflecting the bulls’ weakness. Its downtick from peak Z completed a bearish divergence, giving a strong sell signal and auguring a nasty bear market.
* Bullish divergences , in the other hand, occur towards the ends of downtrends identifying market bottoms. A classical (also called regular) bullish divergence occurs when prices and an oscillator (MACD histogram in this case) both fall to a new low, rally, with the oscillator rising above its zero line, then both fall again. This time, prices drop to a lower low, but the oscillator traces a higher bottom than during its previous decline.
In the example in the chart above (weekly charts of NKE, Nike, Inc.), you see a bearish divergence that signaled the October 2022 bear market bottom, giving a strong buy signal right near the lows. In area A, NKE (weekly charts) appeared in a free fall. The record low A of MACD-H indicated that bears were extremely strong. In area B, MACD-H rallied above its centerline. Notice the brief rally of prices at that moment. In area C, NKE slid to a new bear market low, but MACD-H traced a much more shallow low. Its uptick completed a bullish divergence, giving a strong buy signal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Some cool features included in this indicator:
1. This indicator also includes the “ Impulse System ”. The Impulse System is based on two indicators, a 13-day exponential moving average and the MACD-Histogram, and identifies inflection points where a trend speeds up or slows down. The moving average identifies the trend, while the MACD-Histogram measures momentum. This unique indicator combination is color coded into the price bars for easy reference.
Calculation:
Green Price Bar: (13-period EMA > previous 13-period EMA) and
(MACD-Histogram > previous period's MACD-Histogram)
Red Price Bar: (13-period EMA < previous 13-period EMA) and
(MACD-Histogram < previous period's MACD-Histogram)
Price bars are colored blue when conditions for a Red Price Bar or Green Price Bar are not met. The MACD-Histogram is based on MACD(12,26,9).
The Impulse System works more like a censorship system. Green price bars show that the bulls are in control of both trend and momentum as both the 13-day EMA and MACD-Histogram are rising (you don't have permission to sell). A red price bar indicates that the bears have taken control because the 13-day EMA and MACD Histogram are falling (you don't have permission to buy). A blue price bar indicates mixed technical signals, with neither buying nor selling pressure predominating (either both buying or selling are permitted).
2. Another "extra feature" included here is the " Keltner Channels ". Keltner Channels are volatility-based envelopes set above and below an exponential moving average.
3. It were also included a couple of EMAs.
Everything can be removed from the chart any time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Options/adjustments for this indicator:
*Horizontal Distance (width) between two tops/bottoms criteria.
Refers to the horizontal distance between the MACH histogram peaks involved in the divergence
*Height of tops/bottoms criteria (for Histogram).
Refers to the difference/relation/vertical distance between the MACH HISTOGRAM peaks involved in the divergence: 1st Histogram Peak is X times the 2nd.
*Height/Vertical deviation of tops/bottoms criteria (for Price).
Deviation refers to the difference/relation/vertical distance between the PRICE peaks involved in the divergence.
*Plot Regular Bullish Divergences?.
*Plot Regular Bearish Divergences?.
*Delete Previous Cancelled Divergences?.
*Shows a pair of EMAs.
*Shows Keltner Channels (using ATR)
Keltner Channels are volatility-based envelopes set above and below an exponential moving average.
*This indicator also has the option to show the Impulse System over the price bars/candles.

MACD Trend CandlesThe script combines 2 indicators (MACD and Stoch-RSI) and puts them visually directly on the candles - can be used with normal OHLC candles or Heiken Ashi candles. Furthermore, you can derive divergences exremely easy directly visually from the candles as well. Lastly, a SMA 20 high and a SMA 20 low line build a trend channel.
Script is best used in trending markets to trade with the trend.
1) SMA trend channel:
* uptrend: close above
* downtrend: close below
* aggressive entry (uptrend) closing inside channel from below
* conservative entry (uptrend) closing above channel from inside
* hold (uptrend) until close below channel
* can be used accordingly for the downtrend
2) MACD candles
* visualization of the MACD histogram directly on the candles
* dark blue: histogram > 0 and histogram > histogram of previous candle
* light blue: histogram > 0 and histogram < histogram of previous candle
* orange: histogram < 0 and histogram < histogram of previous candle
* light blue: histogram < 0 and histogram > histogram of previous candle
* hold uptrend (dark/light blue candles) - combined with trend channel (above channel)
* hold downtrend (orange /yellow candles) - combined with trend channel (below channel)
* Color divergence: light blue candle > dark blue candle (price and MACD show divergence (bearish)
* Color divergence: yellow candle < orange candle (price and MACD show divergence (bullish)
* Trend change (0 line cross to upside) yellow or orange to dark blue
* Trend change (0 line cross to downside) dark or light blue to orange
3) Stoch RSI diamonds
* visualization of the STOCH-RSI as diamonds above or below the candle
* k, d line > 80: diamond above the candle
* k, d line < 20: diamond below the candle
* divergence caldle without diamond above > candle with diamond above (bearish divergence)
* divergence caldle without diamond below < candle with diamond below (bullish divergence)
Feel free to test each part individually and combine it with other indicators, e.g. BBands and Ichimoku Cloud - you will see it is a powerful visualization script

[blackcat] L2 KDJ with Whale Pump and OustLevel: 2
Background
One of the biggest differences between cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets is that cryptocurrency is based on blockchain technology. Individual investors can discover the direction of the flow of large funds through on-chain transfers. These large funds are often referred to as Whale. Whale can have a significant impact on the price movements of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin . Therefore, how to monitor Whale trends is of great significance both in terms of fundamentals and technical aspects.
The KDJ oscillator display consists of 3 lines (K, D and J - hence the name of the display) and 2 levels. K and D are the same lines you see when using the stochastic oscillator. The J line in turn represents the deviation of the D value from the K value. The convergence of these lines indicates new trading opportunities. Just like the Stochastic Oscillator, oversold and overbought levels correspond to the times when the trend is likely to reverse.
Function
L2 KDJ with Whale Pump and Oust is a composite indicator that combines both KDJ and Whale Pump and Oust detector. By virtue of this, fake signal of KDJ can be filtered out to some degree.
Key Signal
whalepump --> whale buy behavior will be detected and displayed in green histograms
oust --> after whale buy behavior, there usually a oust action from whale to drive out profitable orders to reduce the selling pressure of subsequent pull ups. This oust will be detected and displayed in red histograms
k --> k value of a stochastic oscillator
d --> d value of a stochastic oscillator
j --> the deviation of the d value from the d value of a stochastic oscillator
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. filter out KDJ fake signal by introducing whale pump/oust detector
2. J value can be used to detect overbought and oversold regions
Cons:
1. It works better in small time frame and sideways. Extreme long or short conditions may cause KDJ staturate.
2. It can only indicate in current time frame, larger time frame trend info is missing.
Remarks
An improved version of L2 KDJ with Whale Pump Detector by adding oust function. Works fine in 15mins time frame.
Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
Liquidation Map [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated liquidity distribution visualization system that identifies potential liquidation zones through pivot-based detection and renders them as an interactive histogram with cumulative distance-to-liquidation curves. Utilizing multi-exchange volume aggregation and ATR-scaled pocket detection, this indicator delivers institutional-grade liquidity mapping with real-time histogram display showing relative concentration of long and short liquidation levels across configurable price ranges. The system's box-based rendering architecture combined with cumulative distribution overlays provides comprehensive visual assessment of asymmetric liquidity positioning for strategic trade planning.
🔶 Advanced Multi-Exchange Aggregation Framework
Implements intelligent ticker detection and multi-source volume aggregation across major exchanges including Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, and MEXC for accurate liquidity weight calculations. The system automatically identifies base currency (BTC, ETH, SOL) from chart ticker, retrieves volume data from matching perpetual contracts across multiple venues, and aggregates into composite volume metric for enhanced pocket weighting accuracy.
🔶 Pivot-Based Liquidation Pocket Detection
Features sophisticated swing point identification using configurable pivot width with ATR-scaled vertical zone construction for volatility-adaptive pocket sizing. The system detects pivot highs for short liquidation zones (placed above swing) and pivot lows for long liquidation zones (placed below swing), applying 200-period ATR with percentage multipliers to determine pocket heights that adjust to market volatility conditions.
🔶 Interactive Histogram Visualization Engine
Provides real-time box-based histogram rendering in indicator pane with configurable bin counts (up to 400 columns) and adjustable height, displaying liquidity concentration across fixed percentage range above and below current price. The system calculates bin sizes from view range, accumulates pocket weights into price bins, and renders vertical bars with gradient color intensity reflecting relative liquidity concentration at each price level.
🔶 Cumulative Distance Overlay System
Implements innovative cumulative distribution curves showing aggregate liquidity distance from current price for both long (left) and short (right) positions. The system calculates running totals of pocket weights from current price outward in both directions, normalizes against maximum span, and overlays line segments showing how much total liquidity exists at various distances, enabling instant assessment of liquidation cascade potential.
🔶 Dynamic Price Range Adaptation
Features fixed percentage-based view window that maintains consistent price range visualization across all timeframes and instruments, automatically centering histogram on current price with configurable +/- percentage bounds. The system recalculates histogram bins and pocket distributions on each bar close, ensuring visualization adapts to price movement while maintaining interpretable scale regardless of volatility regime.
🔶 Touch Detection and Weight Adjustment
Provides intelligent pocket state tracking that identifies when price trades through liquidation zones and applies configurable weight multipliers to touched pockets for historical context. The system monitors price interaction with pocket midpoints, marks pockets as "hit" when violated, and optionally increases their visual weight (default 5x) to emphasize historical liquidation levels while distinguishing from untouched future zones.
🔶 Gradient Intensity Color System
Implements sophisticated color gradient engine that modulates bar opacity from transparent to opaque based on relative liquidity concentration within each bin. The system normalizes bin values against maximum liquidity, applies color interpolation from faded to vivid hues, and distinguishes long liquidation zones (cyan) from short liquidation zones (yellow/gold) with current price column highlighted in red for instant orientation.
🔶 Performance-Optimized Rendering Architecture
Utilizes efficient box and line object management with dynamic allocation based on histogram configuration, implementing intelligent cleanup and reuse to maintain smooth performance. The system includes adaptive line budget calculations that adjust segment density for cumulative curves based on available object limits, ensuring consistent operation even with maximum histogram resolution settings.
🔶 Asymmetric Distribution Analysis
Calculates separate cumulative distributions for long and short liquidation zones split at current price, enabling identification of imbalanced liquidity positioning. The system normalizes distributions against respective maximums and overlays both curves on single histogram, allowing traders to instantly assess whether more liquidation risk exists above (shorts vulnerable) or below (longs vulnerable) current price levels.
🔶 Configurable Label and Scale System
Provides price axis labeling with adjustable frequency to reduce clutter while maintaining reference points, displaying price values at regular column intervals with configurable offset positioning. The system includes current price label showing exact value and percentile position within view range, offering both absolute price reference and relative positioning context for distribution interpretation.
🔶 Historical Pocket Persistence Framework
Maintains rolling window of liquidation pockets up to 3000 bars with automatic expiration management and optional preservation of touched zones for historical analysis. The system tracks pocket creation time, monitors age against lookback limits, and manages array cleanup to prevent memory overflow while retaining relevant historical liquidation levels for pattern recognition and support/resistance validation.
This indicator delivers sophisticated liquidity distribution analysis through histogram visualization and cumulative distance curves that reveal asymmetric positioning of potential liquidation levels. Unlike simple liquidation heatmaps that show absolute levels, the Liquidation Map's cumulative distribution overlays instantly communicate how much total liquidity exists at various distances from current price, enabling assessment of cascade potential. The system's multi-exchange volume aggregation, touch-weighted historical zones, and fixed-range visualization make it essential for traders seeking strategic positioning around institutional liquidity clusters in cryptocurrency futures markets. The histogram format enables instant identification of price levels where concentrated liquidations may trigger significant volatility or reversal events, while the asymmetric distribution curves reveal whether market structure favors upside or downside cascades.
CryptoFlux Dynamo [JOAT]CryptoFlux Dynamo: Velocity Scalping Strategy
WHAT THIS STRATEGY IS
CryptoFlux Dynamo is an open-source Pine Script v6 strategy designed for momentum-based scalping on cryptocurrency perpetual futures. It combines multiple technical analysis methods into a unified system that adapts its behavior based on current market volatility conditions.
This script is published open-source so you can read, understand, and modify the complete logic. The description below explains everything the strategy does so that traders who cannot read Pine Script can fully understand how it works before using it.
HOW THIS STRATEGY IS ORIGINAL AND WHY THE INDICATORS ARE COMBINED
This strategy uses well-known indicators (MACD, EMA, RSI, MFI, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, ATR). The originality is not in the individual indicators themselves, but in the specific way they are integrated into a regime-adaptive system. Here is the detailed justification for why these components are combined and how they work together:
The Problem Being Solved:
Standard indicator-based strategies use fixed thresholds. For example, a typical MACD strategy might enter when the histogram crosses above zero. However, in cryptocurrency markets, volatility changes dramatically throughout the day and week. A MACD crossover during a low-volatility consolidation period has very different implications than the same crossover during a high-volatility trending period. Using the same entry thresholds and stop distances in both conditions leads to either:
Too many false signals during consolidation (if thresholds are loose)
Missing valid opportunities during expansion (if thresholds are tight)
Stops that are too tight during volatility spikes (causing premature exits)
Stops that are too wide during compression (giving back profits)
The Solution Approach:
This strategy first classifies the current volatility regime using normalized ATR (ATR as a percentage of price), then dynamically adjusts ALL other parameters based on that classification. This creates a context-aware system rather than a static threshold comparison.
How Each Component Contributes to the System:
ATR-Based Regime Classification (The Foundation)
The strategy calculates ATR over 21 periods, smooths it with a 13-period EMA to reduce noise from wicks, then divides by price to get a normalized percentage. This ATR% is classified into three regimes:
- Compression (ATR% < 0.8%): Market is consolidating, breakouts are more likely but false signals are common
- Expansion (ATR% 0.8% - 1.6%): Normal trending conditions
- Velocity (ATR% > 1.6%): High volatility, larger moves but also larger adverse excursions
This regime classification then controls stop distances, profit targets, trailing stop offsets, and signal strength requirements. The regime acts as a "meta-parameter" that tunes the entire system.
EMA Ribbon (8/21/34) - Trend Structure Detection
The three EMAs establish trend direction and structure. When EMA 8 > EMA 21 > EMA 34, the trend structure is bullish. The slope of the middle EMA (21) is calculated over 8 bars and converted to degrees using arctangent. This slope measurement quantifies trend strength, not just direction.
Why these specific periods? The 8/21/34 sequence follows Fibonacci-like spacing and provides good separation on 5-minute cryptocurrency charts. The fast EMA (8) responds to immediate price action, the mid EMA (21) represents the short-term trend, and the slow EMA (34) acts as a trend filter.
The EMA ribbon works with the regime classification: during compression regimes, the strategy requires stronger ribbon alignment before entry because false breakouts are more common.
MACD (8/21/5) - Momentum Measurement
The MACD uses faster parameters (8/21/5) than the standard (12/26/9) because cryptocurrency markets move faster than traditional markets. The histogram is smoothed with a 5-period EMA to reduce noise.
The key innovation is the adaptive histogram baseline. Instead of using a fixed threshold, the strategy calculates a rolling baseline from the smoothed absolute histogram value, then multiplies by a sensitivity factor (1.15). This means the threshold for "significant momentum" automatically adjusts based on recent momentum levels.
The MACD works with the regime classification: during velocity regimes, the histogram baseline is effectively higher because recent momentum has been stronger, preventing entries on relatively weak momentum.
RSI (21 period) and MFI (21 period) - Independent Momentum Confirmation
RSI measures momentum using price changes only. MFI (Money Flow Index) measures momentum using price AND volume. By requiring both to confirm, the strategy filters out price moves that lack volume support.
The 21-period length is longer than typical (14) to reduce noise on 5-minute charts. The trigger threshold (55 for longs, 45 for shorts) is slightly offset from 50 to require momentum in the trade direction, not just neutral readings.
These indicators work together: a signal requires RSI > 55 AND MFI > 55 for longs. This dual confirmation reduces false signals from price manipulation or low-volume moves.
Bollinger Bands (1.5 mult) and Keltner Channels (1.8 mult) - Squeeze Detection
When Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels, volatility is compressing and a breakout is likely. This is the "squeeze" condition. When the bands expand back outside the channels, the squeeze "releases."
The strategy uses a 1.5 multiplier for Bollinger Bands (tighter than standard 2.0) and 1.8 for Keltner Channels. These values were chosen to identify meaningful squeezes on 5-minute cryptocurrency charts without triggering too frequently.
The squeeze detection works with the regime classification: squeeze releases during compression regimes receive additional signal strength points because breakouts from consolidation are more significant.
Volume Impulse Detection - Institutional Participation Filter
The strategy calculates a volume baseline (34-period SMA) and standard deviation. A "volume impulse" is detected when current volume exceeds the baseline by 1.15x OR when the volume z-score exceeds 0.5.
This filter ensures entries occur when there is meaningful market participation, not during low-volume periods where price moves are less reliable.
Volume impulse is required for all entries and adds points to the composite signal strength score.
Cycle Oscillator - Trend Alignment Filter
The strategy calculates a 55-period EMA as a cycle basis, then measures price deviation from this basis as a percentage. When price is more than 0.15% above the cycle basis, the cycle is bullish. When more than 0.15% below, the cycle is bearish.
This filter prevents counter-trend entries. Long signals require bullish cycle alignment; short signals require bearish cycle alignment.
BTC Dominance Filter (Optional) - Market Regime Filter
The strategy can optionally use BTC.D (Bitcoin Dominance) as a market regime filter. When BTC dominance is rising (slope > 0.12), the market is in "risk-off" mode and long entries on altcoins are filtered. When dominance is falling (slope < -0.12), short entries are filtered.
This filter is optional because the BTC.D data feed may lag during low-liquidity periods.
How The Components Work Together (The Mashup Justification):
The strategy uses a composite scoring system where each signal pathway contributes points:
Trend Break pathway (30 points): Requires EMA ribbon alignment + positive slope + price breaks above recent structure high
Momentum Surge pathway (30 points): Requires MACD histogram > adaptive baseline + MACD line > signal + RSI > 55 + MFI > 55 + volume impulse
Squeeze Release pathway (25 points): Requires BB inside KC (squeeze) then release + momentum bias + histogram confirmation
Micro Pullback pathway (15 points): Requires shallow retracement to fast EMA within established trend + histogram confirmation + volume impulse
Additional modifiers:
+5 points if volume impulse is present, -5 if absent
+5 points in velocity regime, -2 in compression regime
+5 points if cycle is aligned, -5 if counter-trend
A trade only executes when the composite score reaches the minimum threshold (default 55) AND all filters agree (session, cycle bias, BTC dominance if enabled).
This scoring system is the core innovation: instead of requiring ALL conditions to be true (which would generate very few signals) or ANY condition to be true (which would generate too many false signals), the strategy requires ENOUGH conditions to be true, with different conditions contributing different weights based on their reliability.
HOW THE STRATEGY CALCULATES ENTRIES AND EXITS
Entry Logic:
1. Calculate current volatility regime from ATR%
2. Calculate all indicator values (MACD, EMA, RSI, MFI, squeeze, volume)
3. Evaluate each signal pathway and sum points
4. Check all filters (session, cycle, dominance, kill switch)
5. If composite score >= 55 AND all filters pass, generate entry signal
6. Calculate position size based on risk per trade and regime-adjusted stop distance
7. Execute entry with regime name as comment
Position Sizing Formula:
RiskCapital = Equity * (0.65 / 100)
StopDistance = ATR * StopMultiplier(regime)
RawQuantity = RiskCapital / StopDistance
MaxQuantity = Equity * (12 / 100) / Price
Quantity = min(RawQuantity, MaxQuantity)
Quantity = round(Quantity / 0.001) * 0.001
This ensures each trade risks approximately 0.65% of equity regardless of volatility, while capping total exposure at 12% of equity.
Stop Loss Calculation:
Stop distance is ATR multiplied by a regime-specific multiplier:
Compression regime: 1.05x ATR (tighter stops because moves are smaller)
Expansion regime: 1.55x ATR (standard stops)
Velocity regime: 2.1x ATR (wider stops to avoid premature exits during volatility)
Take Profit Calculation:
Target distance is ATR multiplied by regime-specific multiplier and base risk/reward:
Compression regime: 1.6x ATR * 1.8 base R:R * 0.9 regime bonus = approximately 2.6x ATR
Expansion regime: 2.05x ATR * 1.8 base R:R * 1.0 regime bonus = approximately 3.7x ATR
Velocity regime: 2.8x ATR * 1.8 base R:R * 1.15 regime bonus = approximately 5.8x ATR
Trailing Stop Logic:
When adaptive trailing is enabled, the strategy calculates a trailing offset based on ATR and regime:
Compression regime: 1.1x base offset (looser trailing to avoid noise)
Expansion regime: 1.0x base offset (standard)
Velocity regime: 0.8x base offset (tighter trailing to lock in profits during fast moves)
The trailing stop only activates when it would be tighter than the initial stop.
Momentum Fail-Safe Exits:
The strategy closes positions early if momentum reverses:
Long positions close if MACD histogram turns negative OR EMA ribbon structure breaks (fast EMA crosses below mid EMA)
Short positions close if MACD histogram turns positive OR EMA ribbon structure breaks
This prevents holding through momentum reversals even if stop loss hasn't been hit.
Kill Switch:
If maximum drawdown exceeds 6.5%, the strategy disables new entries until manually reset. This prevents continued trading during adverse conditions.
HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY
Step 1: Apply to Chart
Use a 5-minute chart of a high-liquidity cryptocurrency perpetual (BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT recommended)
Ensure at least 200 bars of history are loaded for indicator stabilization
Use standard candlestick charts only (not Heikin Ashi, Renko, or other non-standard types)
Step 2: Understand the Visual Elements
EMA Ribbon: Three lines (8/21/34 periods) showing trend structure. Bullish when stacked upward, bearish when stacked downward.
Background Color: Shows current volatility regime
- Indigo/dark blue = Compression (low volatility)
- Purple = Expansion (normal volatility)
- Magenta/pink = Velocity (high volatility)
Bar Colors: Reflect signal strength divergence. Brighter colors indicate stronger directional bias.
Triangle Markers: Entry signals. Up triangles below bars = long entry. Down triangles above bars = short entry.
Dashboard (top-right): Real-time display of regime, ATR%, signal strengths, position status, stops, targets, and risk metrics.
Step 3: Interpret the Dashboard
Regime: Current volatility classification (Compression/Expansion/Velocity)
ATR%: Normalized volatility as percentage of price
Long/Short Strength: Current composite signal scores (0-100)
Cycle Osc: Price deviation from 55-period EMA as percentage
Dominance: BTC.D slope and filter status
Position: Current position direction or "Flat"
Stop/Target: Current stop loss and take profit levels
Kill Switch: Status of drawdown protection
Volume Z: Current volume z-score
Impulse: Whether volume impulse condition is met
Step 4: Adjust Parameters for Your Needs
For more conservative trading: Increase "Minimum Composite Signal Strength" to 65 or higher
For more aggressive trading: Decrease to 50 (but expect more false signals)
For higher timeframes (15m+): Increase "Structure Break Window" to 12-15, increase "RSI Momentum Trigger" to 58
For lower liquidity pairs: Increase "Volume Impulse Multiplier" to 1.3, increase slippage in strategy properties
To disable short selling: Uncheck "Enable Short Structure"
To disable BTC dominance filter: Uncheck "BTC Dominance Confirmation"
STRATEGY PROPERTIES (BACKTEST SETTINGS)
These are the exact settings used in the strategy's Properties dialog box. You must use these same settings when evaluating the backtest results shown in the publication:
Initial Capital: $100,000
Justification: This amount is higher than typical retail accounts. I chose this value to demonstrate percentage-based returns that scale proportionally. The strategy uses percentage-based position sizing (0.65% risk per trade), so a $10,000 account would see the same percentage returns with 10x smaller position sizes. The absolute dollar amounts in the backtest should be interpreted as percentages of capital.
Commission: 0.04% (commission_value = 0.04)
Justification: This reflects typical perpetual futures exchange fees. Major exchanges charge between 0.02% (maker) and 0.075% (taker). The 0.04% value is a reasonable middle estimate. If your exchange charges different fees, adjust this value accordingly. Higher fees will reduce net profitability.
Slippage: 1 tick
Justification: This is conservative for liquid pairs like BTC/USDT on major exchanges during normal conditions. For less liquid altcoins or during high volatility, actual slippage may be higher. If you trade less liquid pairs, increase this value to 2-3 ticks for more realistic results.
Pyramiding: 1
Justification: No position stacking. The strategy holds only one position at a time. This simplifies risk management and prevents overexposure.
calc_on_every_tick: true
Justification: The strategy evaluates on every price update, not just bar close. This is necessary for scalping timeframes where waiting for bar close would miss opportunities. Note that this setting means backtest results may differ slightly from bar-close-only evaluation.
calc_on_order_fills: true
Justification: The strategy recalculates immediately after order fills for faster response to position changes.
RISK PER TRADE JUSTIFICATION
The default risk per trade is 0.65% of equity. This is well within the TradingView guideline that "risking more than 5-10% on a trade is not typically considered viable."
With the 12% maximum exposure cap, even if the strategy takes multiple consecutive losses, the total risk remains manageable. The kill switch at 6.5% drawdown provides additional protection by halting new entries during adverse conditions.
The position sizing formula ensures that stop distance (which varies by regime) is accounted for, so actual risk per trade remains approximately 0.65% regardless of volatility conditions.
SAMPLE SIZE CONSIDERATIONS
For statistically meaningful backtest results, you should select a dataset that generates at least 100 trades. On 5-minute BTC/USDT charts, this typically requires:
2-3 months of data during normal market conditions
1-2 months during high-volatility periods
3-4 months during low-volatility consolidation periods
The strategy's selectivity (requiring 55+ composite score plus all filters) means it generates fewer signals than less filtered approaches. If your backtest shows fewer than 100 trades, extend the date range or reduce the minimum signal strength threshold.
Fewer than 100 trades produces statistically unreliable results. Win rate, profit factor, and other metrics can vary significantly with small sample sizes.
STRATEGY DESIGN COMPROMISES AND LIMITATIONS
Every strategy involves trade-offs. Here are the compromises made in this design and the limitations you should understand:
Selectivity vs. Opportunity Trade-off
The 55-point minimum threshold filters many potential trades. This reduces false signals but also misses valid setups that don't meet all criteria. Lowering the threshold increases trade frequency but decreases win rate. There is no "correct" threshold; it depends on your preference for fewer higher-quality signals vs. more signals with lower individual quality.
Regime Classification Lag
The ATR-based regime detection uses historical data (21 periods + 13-period smoothing). It cannot predict sudden volatility spikes. During flash crashes or black swan events, the strategy may be classified in the wrong regime for several bars before the classification updates. This is an inherent limitation of any lagging indicator.
Indicator Parameter Sensitivity
The default parameters (MACD 8/21/5, EMA 8/21/34, RSI 21, etc.) are tuned for BTC/ETH perpetuals on 5-minute charts during 2024 market conditions. Different assets, timeframes, or market regimes may require different parameters. There is no guarantee that parameters optimized on historical data will perform similarly in the future.
BTC Dominance Filter Limitations
The CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D data feed may lag during low-liquidity periods or weekends. The dominance slope calculation uses a 5-bar SMA, adding additional delay. If you notice the filter behaving unexpectedly, consider disabling it.
Backtest vs. Live Execution Differences
TradingView backtesting does not replicate actual broker execution. Key differences:
Backtests assume perfect fills at calculated prices; real execution involves order book depth, latency, and partial fills
The calc_on_every_tick setting improves backtest realism but still cannot capture sub-bar price action or order book dynamics
Commission and slippage settings are estimates; actual costs vary by exchange, time of day, and market conditions
Funding rates on perpetual futures are not modeled in backtests and can significantly impact profitability over time
Exchange-specific limitations (position limits, liquidation mechanics, order types) are not modeled
Market Condition Dependencies
This strategy is designed for trending and breakout conditions. During extended sideways consolidation with no clear direction, the strategy may generate few signals or experience whipsaws. No strategy performs well in all market conditions.
Cryptocurrency-Specific Risks
Cryptocurrency markets operate 24/7 without session boundaries. This means:
No natural "overnight" risk reduction
Volatility can spike at any time
Liquidity varies significantly by time of day
Exchange outages or issues can occur at any time
WHAT THIS STRATEGY DOES NOT DO
To be straightforward about limitations:
This strategy does not guarantee profits. Past backtest performance does not indicate future results.
This strategy does not predict the future. It reacts to current conditions based on historical patterns.
This strategy does not account for funding rates, which can significantly impact perpetual futures profitability.
This strategy does not model exchange-specific execution issues (partial fills, requotes, outages).
This strategy does not adapt to fundamental news events or black swan scenarios.
This strategy is not optimized for all market conditions. It may underperform during extended consolidation.
IMPORTANT RISK WARNINGS
Past performance does not guarantee future results. The backtest results shown reflect specific historical market conditions and parameter settings. Markets change constantly, and strategies that performed well historically may underperform or lose money in the future. A single backtest run does not constitute proof of future profitability.
Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Cryptocurrency derivatives are highly volatile instruments. You can lose your entire investment. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose completely.

Regime [CHE] Regime — Minimal HTF MACD histogram regime marker with a simple rising versus falling state.
Summary
Regime is a lightweight overlay that turns a higher-timeframe-style MACD histogram condition into a simple regime marker on your chart. It queries an imported core module to determine whether the histogram is rising and then paints a consistent marker color based on that boolean state. The output is intentionally minimal: no lines, no panels, no extra smoothing visuals, just a repeated marker that reflects the current regime. This makes it useful as a quick context filter for other signals rather than a standalone system.
Motivation: Why this design?
A common problem in discretionary and systematic workflows is clutter and over-interpretation. Many regime tools draw multiple plots, which can distract from price structure. This script reduces the regime idea to one stable question: is the MACD histogram rising under a given preset and smoothing length. The core logic is delegated to a shared module to keep the indicator thin and consistent across scripts that rely on the same definition.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline: A standard MACD histogram plotted in a separate pane with manual interpretation.
Architecture differences:
Uses a shared library call for the regime decision, rather than re-implementing MACD logic locally.
Uses a single boolean output to drive marker color, rather than plotting histogram bars.
Uses fixed marker placement at the bottom of the chart for consistent visibility.
Practical effect:
You get a persistent “context layer” on price without dedicating a separate pane or reading histogram amplitude. The chart shows state, not magnitude.
How it works (technical)
1. The script imports `chervolino/CoreMACDHTF/2` and calls `core.is_hist_rising()` on each bar.
2. Inputs provide the source series, a preset string for MACD-style parameters, and a smoothing length used by the library function.
3. The library returns a boolean `rising` that represents whether the histogram is rising according to the library’s internal definition.
4. The script maps that boolean to a color: yellow when rising, blue otherwise.
5. A circle marker is plotted on every bar at the bottom of the chart, colored by the current regime state. Only the most recent five hundred bars are displayed to limit visual load.
Notes:
The exact internal calculation details of `core.is_hist_rising()` are not shown in this code. Any higher timeframe mechanics, security usage, or confirmation behavior are determined by the imported library. (Unknown)
Parameter Guide
Source — Selects the price series used by the library call — Default: close — Tips: Use close for consistency; alternate sources may shift regime changes.
Preset — Chooses parameter preset for the library’s MACD-style configuration — Default: 3,10,16 — Trade-offs: Faster presets tend to flip more often; slower presets tend to react later.
Smoothing Length — Controls smoothing used inside the library regime decision — Default: 21 — Bounds: minimum one — Trade-offs: Higher values typically reduce noise but can delay transitions. (Library behavior: Unknown)
Reading & Interpretation
Yellow markers indicate the library considers the histogram to be rising at that bar.
Blue markers indicate the library considers it not rising, which may include falling or flat conditions depending on the library definition. (Unknown)
Because markers repeat on every bar, focus on transitions from one color to the other as regime changes.
This tool is best read as context: it does not express strength, only direction of change as defined by the library.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following:
Use yellow as a condition to allow long-side entries and blue as a condition to allow short-side entries, then trigger entries with your primary setup such as structure breaks or pullback patterns. (Optional)
Exits and stops:
Consider tightening management after a color transition against your position direction, but do not treat a single flip as an exit signal without price-based confirmation. (Optional)
Multi-asset and multi-timeframe:
Keep `Source` consistent across assets.
Use the slower preset when instruments are noisy, and the faster preset when you need earlier context shifts. The best transferability depends on the imported library’s behavior. (Unknown)
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation:
This script itself uses no forward-looking indexing and no explicit closed-bar gating. It evaluates on every bar update.
Any repaint or confirmation behavior may come from the imported library. If the library uses higher timeframe data, intrabar updates can change the state until the higher timeframe bar closes. (Unknown)
security and HTF:
Not visible here. The library name suggests HTF behavior, but the implementation is not shown. Treat this as potentially higher-timeframe-driven unless you confirm the library source. (Unknown)
Resources:
No loops, no arrays, no heavy objects. The plotting is one marker series with a five hundred bar display window.
Known limits:
This indicator does not convey histogram magnitude, divergence, or volatility context.
A binary regime can flip in choppy phases depending on preset and smoothing.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point:
Source: close
Preset: 3,10,16
Smoothing Length: 21
Tuning recipes:
Too many flips: choose the slower preset and increase smoothing length.
Too sluggish: choose the faster preset and reduce smoothing length.
Regime changes feel misaligned with your entries: keep the preset, switch the source back to close, and tune smoothing length in small steps.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a minimal regime visualization and a context filter. It is not a complete trading system, not a risk model, and not a prediction engine. Use it together with price structure, execution rules, and position management. The regime definition depends on the imported library, so validate it against your market and timeframe before relying on it.
